Grand jury indicts firefighter in shooting

A Barrow County grand jury has indicted a Barrow County firefighter on two charges connected to a Christmas Day shooting at his family's home according to court documents.

Todd Orr accidentally shot himself and his 21-year-old pregnant daughter with a rifle while they struggled over the gun, according to the indictment. She was trying to take the rifle from him because he had threatened to kill himself, according to the indictment.

He is charged with reckless conduct and child cruelty because a younger daughter witnessed the struggle.

Grand jurors also indicted three Winder men on aggravated battery and aggravated assault charges in connection with a drive-by shooting in August.

Naquan Brandt, 22, Nicholaus Williams, 21, and Jeremy Henry allegedly were driving a rented Chevrolet Malibu about 8 p.m. on Aug. 6, 2009, when one of them shot from the car into a crowd of 20 or 30 people on Wood Avenue in Winder. The shooter, who was not identified in the indictment, hit a 22-year-old woman in the shoulder.
